How Can I Get Home Safely?

• Stay with your friends.
• If you are using trains or buses and miss the last one, have an alternative travel plan.
• Pre-book a taxi and only use licensed taxi's. You can check that the taxi is licensed by asking to see the ID badge of the driver. If in doubt don't get in.
• Croydon now has Safer Travel At Night (STAN) and a Taxi Marshal Scheme in Katharine Street on Friday and Saturday night from 11pm to 4am. (see www.london.gov.uk/mayor/safer_travel for more information)
• Ask a family member to collect you, it's what Mum's and Dad's are for!
• Don't go off with people you have just met; even criminals can be charming.
• If walking, stay on a lit route and don't take shortcuts that aren't safe.
• Don't get in a car if the driver's been drinking.
• Don't drink and drive.
• NEVER drink so much that you can't remember anything; remember you are very vulnerable if you are drunk.
• Text 'HOME' to 60835 for local minicab and taxi information.
• Use TFL Journey Planner, bus timetables or National Rail website to help find the best way home.
